Chapter 1338: It Seems the Baby Is Considerate, Afraid Sister-in-law You Will Suffer

As soon as the personnel sent to Hulan Village signed the contract there, the unit immediately began preparations without delay.

Not far from the military family compound, there happened to be an empty warehouse; the place was quite large and only needed minor repairs.

On that very day, a batch of soldiers skilled in building earth stoves was transferred from the unit; in just one afternoon, they built over ten stoves.

By the third day, the unit had prepared all the necessary seasonings and transported all the stored melon seeds from Hulan Village back.

Since Chuxue did not want to attract attention, Fu Yan Cheng had already spoken with the leaders beforehand; the matter of Chuxue proposing to open a snack workshop was not to be made public.

The leaders also feared that if this matter ultimately failed, people would gossip; out of protection for Chuxue, they nodded and agreed.

However, the unit leaders also stated that if the workshop could be established, Chuxue would not lack rewards; effort deserves return.

A day passed in between, allowing them to take the recipe Chuxue had written and begin practicing.

To be honest, everyone grasped it at a single hint and quickly got the hang of it.

At first, some could not control the heat or the timing for taking the pot off, burning a few batches; later, although problems still occurred from time to time, the results were very gratifying.

Although staying by the stove fire throughout the hot summer was suffering, no one wanted to quit; after all, the monthly wage was over twenty yuan, and they heard that if the workshop ran well, wages would rise further; everyone's morale was high, fearing the workshop would fail, and each person was extremely diligent.

Everything went smoothly at the workshop, while the team sent to Tang City for investigation indeed discovered many abnormalities.

After the leaders inside the Red Wall made the final decision, Tang City began an emergency, orderly evacuation.

The unit also received orders; Fu Yan Cheng did not even have time to return home before leading his team out on a mission.

After Fu Yan Cheng left, to avoid overthinking, Chuxue began organizing the items she had previously collected from those families, thinking that once news broke, she would return to the city to find a suitable place to release all the goods for them to transport to the disaster area.

Mo Ruhua's work procedures had already been completed; after familiarizing herself with the job content and environment these past few days, she finally had time to come find Chuxue: "Sister-in-law, what have you been busy with these past few days? I returned and heard no sound in your courtyard; several times I came to see you with the main gate closed, so I didn't dare knock, afraid of disturbing your rest."

"My morning sickness reaction is basically non-existent, but I am just extremely sleepy; every day I feel I never get enough sleep."

Hearing this, Mo Ruhua said with a look of envy: "It seems the baby is very considerate, afraid Sister-in-law you will suffer."

A soft expression flashed across Chuxue's face: "Indeed, very considerate."

Thinking of Mo Ruhua's job: "How is it? Are you adapting to the work?"

Mo Ruhua looked up and laughed: "It is completely different from my previous job; I used to work in a library, which was relaxed and quiet. On the first day of work here, I was extremely unaccustomed; those students were so noisy my head hurt. To be honest, at that time I even regretted it a bit."

It was only these past few days, after interacting more with those students, that the previous thought disappeared; I then discovered they are actually quite cute."

Speaking of this, Mo Ruhua thought of Shen Kaiyuan, who was on a mission: "My older sister is getting married the day after tomorrow; I don't know if my one over there can make it back in time."

Chuxue slapped her forehead, having almost forgotten the important matter; her own younger sister-in-law was scheduled to marry on August first; it seemed she needed to go back these past few days to see if there was anything she could help with.

Seeing her like this, Mo Ruhua asked: "What's wrong?"

Chuxue stood up and fetched some melon seeds she had previously roasted: "My younger sister-in-law is getting married on the first of next month; your words reminded me; I must go back to my mother-in-law's these past few days."
